The total cost of allowances to members of the existing Central Legislature in 1932–33—the latest year for which I have actual figures—was Rs.5,96,367. There are at present in the aggregate 995 members of the Provincial Legislatures. The aggregate cost of their allowances in 1932–33 being Rs.6,46,450, the average annual cost of allowances per member was about Rs.650. As regards the new Legislatures proposed under the Bill I am not in a position to give any other estimates of the increased cost than those my right hon. Friend gave the Joint Select Committee, which are published in the Committee's records. These estimates include, of course, other items besides the salaries of Members.
